Hands down the best shoe in pickleball! Worth every penny. Hightop or mid top can’t go wrong.
These shoes are outstanding. I’ve worn K-Swiss prior, and the difference here is immediate and undeniable. From the first step, they hug and contour to your feet, providing a stable, locked-in feel with exceptional support. My agility has noticeably improve, I can stop on a dime without sliding, almost like the precision of driving an EV.
They do take a couple of sessions to fully break in, but with each wear they feel better and better. Transitioning from a low to mid-top required a little adjustment, but it’s absolutely worth it for the added stability.
For serious players, or anyone who truly values performance and functionality, I can’t recommend these enough. On top of that, the customer service has been excellent, which makes the experience even better!
Right out of the box, these performed above expectation. They add traction, stability and confidence. They are very comfortable and are a true pickleball shoe. Love them!
I wore my new pickleball shoes last night. I could tell immediately they were lighter and more breathable than my New Balance or Adidas court shoes. I normally wear a size 10 1/2, but they were too short and tight. I exchanged them for a size 11. They are a great fit. Since I had pre-paid the $2.98 exchange fee, the exchange process was easy.
Best pickleball shoe! Not only are DAPS cool looking they more importantly are very high quality. I have narrow feet and ended up ordering my true size. At first they seemed a bit constricting in the toe bed, but once I played in them they felt perfect. I love the higher ankle for increased stability. My heels were hurting in my former brand of pickleball shoe, but my heels (and entire feet) have been pain free since wearing my DAPS. I highly recommend trying DAPS—they’ve been game changer for me!
Love them! Super cool look and feel
Great fit, comfortable, and very effective with quick stops and side to side movements. Make more colors please.
Nice fit once on but hard to get into
Love the shoes, they stick to the ground and are stylish!!
Great shoe, super comfortable, I would recommend to anyone looking to take their game to the next level.
Very comfortable and sturdy - also stylish! I really like these shoes, including the sturdy insole that comes with it (added bonus).
Love the Daps, and several people have asked me about them
So far the Daps have been a real upgrade for pickleball. They're bouncy (I feel quicker on the court - which is great since I'm 62). And they have real good mid-foot support. Previous pickleball shoes I was using, I rolled my foot twice due to lack of support.
Best pickleball shoes by far. First pair of pickleball shoes I boight were QC and they were terrible all around, then I purchased Montis and the same thing. I got DAPS and I immediately loved them. Played about three hours the first day and my feet didn’t feel sore, my feel also didn’t slide inside the shoe because the soles have grip on them. My ankle felt fully supported for my hard cuts and sprints to the kitchen. Don’t waste any ore time with other shoes, DAPS is miles ahead of the competition. I’ll be in the DAPS FAMILY forever. Looking forward to more color options!
My boyfriend has issues with his feet and every single shoe he has tried has hurt him until these. He is so excited and he’s not even using these for Pickle Ball. He’s using them for Padel.
These are the best pickleball/padel shoes ever! I've been through so many different brands and nothing comes close. My feet feel amazing after 2+ hours on the court!
Great pickleball sneaker. Very comfortable and great support.ickleball
These are the best athletic shoes I've ever worn!
The fit: my ankle stays back, the insoles are insanely cushioning, the toebox is wide enough that my long toes are smashed together.
The upper mesh is great so my feet stay cool and the leather? is soft and supportive.
At the end of a point as I'm walking back to the baseline I catch myself thinking "Wow, these shoes are so comfortable"!
Not everyone will understand, but when you're searching for the perfect shoe that gives you an edge, gives you comfort, and can handle wear and tear, this is the shoe.
A little bit about me: I'm 57 years old, 340 pounds, and I play pickleball an average of five to six times a week. Thanks to my Apple Watch (lol), I know I'm logging around two hours a night of consistent play. Coming home with that much impact and pain in my ankles and metatarsals can be discouraging, especially if I want to get back out there the next day.
Intense recovery is the only way I can keep going, with foot massages, stretching, and different exercises. But I'm always searching for the perfect shoe. And I've tried them all. My last pair, what I thought would be the best, were just basic Nike court shoes. Decent, but not good enough. I tried so many different types of shoes. None worked. I mean, I could play, but the foot pain at my weight and age was tough.
Then, scrolling through Instagram a few days ago, I saw a shoe designed specifically for pickleball. I thought, okay, I'll try it. They arrived today. Right out of the box, I could tell they were different, and I was excited. As I walked to the car and packed my equipment, I felt the difference.
At my first game, I felt light on my feet. I only played about an hour and a half tonight because I got a late start. But I cannot wait to get back out there. I'm still in recovery from the past three days with bad shoes, but now that I have these great shoes, I'm ready to hit the court again.
Amazing job. I've already ordered my second pair after just one wear. I'm seriously considering taking all the other shoes that are no use to me to Goodwill.
Thanks a bunch.
I have been singing the praises of your fantastic shoes to all my pickleball friends. The shoes are the first to actually feel like a piece of technological equipment rather than a pair of sneakers.
I have played tennis for over 55 years and pickleball for the last 8 years and can honestly say that you have a winner with the Desi Low. I am impressed with how stable my feet are now. The way that my heel locks in and the insert that prevents my feet from slipping when I make quick stops and starts is truly a game changer for me. Even my shoe strings are fantastic. The strings stay tied throughout my day of playing. Besides all of the tech that went in to make this a top tier pickleball shoe, they are extremely good looking and I have gotten many compliments on their style. You’ve got a winner with the Desi Low, congratulations.
Best pickleball shoe on the market. Got these today and played 3 hours of pickleball, no feet pain. It diesnt even feel like i played. The cushioning in this shoe and support around the anckle and achiles is phenomenal. You can cut hard laterally with all the confidence in the world. The sole comes already with sticky traction which incredible because my feet didn’t slide the OC hard court shoes i have. DAPSFIT YOU HAVE A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE. This shoe superseded all expectations!!!!
I play pickleball 4-5 times a week. These are the 4th brand that I have tried, and they are my favorite! My foot normally moves around in the shoe as I play but not DAPS. Love them!
Looks good and feels good on the court! The shoe has great support. Very happy with my purchase.
